Ormsby has yet to be charged and Bali drug squad police have been told to find more evidence and beef up their case against her.

Prosecutors have twice sent the case back to police for more work and officers have now been given another 30-day extension.

The New Zealand citizen who lived in Paddington in Sydney was arrested after police found MDMA and hashish inside a villa which she had not rented but to which she had the key.

She has consistently denied any knowledge of the drugs inside the north Kuta villa and has admitted only that she owned a joint of marijuana found inside her handbag. The 132.2g of MDMA and 26.06g of hashish were found inside a drawer in the bedroom wardrobe of a one-bedroom villa.

This week police asked for a psychiatric assessment of Ormsby, who was medically examined and required to answer a 500-question long psychiatric questionnaire.

Sources say she is struggling in custody where she often bangs her head against the wall in frustration at her situation and the uncertain future she faces.

Dr Nyoman Hanati and two staff, from the addiction assessment team at Sanglah Hospital, assessed Ormsby "from the tip of her hair through to the tip of her feet" and interviewed her about her drugs use and family history.

Denpasar drug squad chief, Agus Tri Waluyo, told News Corp Australia that police were now planning to use laws for drug addicts against Ormsby, in addition to drug possession which carries a 12-year maximum sentence.

He said the police need a medical assessment to reveal if Ormsby is a drug user and therefore a "victim" of drug abuse which, under Indonesian law, carries only a four-year maximum term.

An Australian man detained with Ormsby in Bali, Sydney DJ Marco Mazzucco, was subsequently let go and police have made little progress on initial plans to have Sydney musician Azaria Byrne, who had rented the villa where the drugs were found, interviewed. Both men returned to Australia and have denied being involved in using drugs.

Mr Byrne and his girlfriend had rented the villa, at the Askara Villa complex, for three days but left about 8pm on the third night. Having already paid for that night the key was left with a friend.

When Ormsby went to the villa the next day to collect her clothes and laptop, police were waiting and arrested her. The drugs were found inside the bedroom wardrobe and a battered old microwave was seized from the villa, along with a set of electric scales, plastic bags and tape.

Ormsby's lawyer, Ary Soenardi, says that police have continuously tried to get her to admit ownership of the drugs but she refuses to do so. He said she had so far been interrogated three times - for up to four hours at a time. There were now suggestions of further interrogations to come.

"They tried to get Leeza's acknowledgment of the drugs that were found at the villa. But she didn't (admit them). She kept saying that she doesn't know anything about the drugs. Since the beginning I have reminded the police that it will be hard to prove the case, especially as the key witness is not here anymore," Mr Soenardi said, referring to Marco Mazzucco.

Mr Soenardi said the only thing his client admitted was ownership of the marijuana joint in her handbag.

He said given the lack of further evidence about the drugs inside the villa, police will have a hard time proving the more serious allegations against Ormsby.

Prosecutor Oka Ariani said police had yet to put forward a dossier or brief of evidence with sufficient evidence pointing to guilt.

She said it was possible that the case against Ormsby relating to the greater amount of drugs could be discontinued but the case involving the marijuana joint would continue.
